Match 39, BAN vs MUM: Preview, Match Details, Pitch & Weather Report, Probable XIs, Fantasy Picks

Preview

Match number 39 of the Indian T20 League 2021 will see Bangalore taking on Mumbai at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Monday. 5 time champions Mumbai haven’t had the best of starts to their second leg with two losses on the trot. They will be eager to return to winning ways at the expense of Bangalore who are currently in a better position than them to seal a spot in the top four. The boys in red in black despite suffering heavy losses in their opening two games are still in the third place with 10 points. Virat Kohli would be expecting his men to come up strong against a low spirited Mumbai. They have defeated them in the past and would certainly look to do so. Ahead of this big match, Bangalore need to address their batting problems. Their middle order has barely contributed with the bat and if they show no improvement soon, they will probably fall behind in the playoff race. Reigning Champions Mumbai on the other hand will be hoping their big guns to fire. Suryakumar Yadav who has been a prolific run getter for the men in blue at the number three spot has been seen struggling with his timing in the last two games. He is a vital cog for Mumbai’s success in the past and skipper Rohit would want the seasoned campaigner to end his run drought with a classy knock.

Pitch and Weather Report

A relatively high scoring game is expected at the venue with dew also likely to come into play. Pacers will get assistance from the surface early, keeping the batsmen on their toes. There isn’t much spin on offer, so the slow bowlers should look to use the longer side of the boundary to their advantage. Team winning the toss should elect to bowl first. The temperature will hover around 31 degree celsius and with 3% chances of rain, we expect a full game.

Match Prediction

Mumbai have failed to find their groove in the second phase so far. They will go all guns blazing to get those two points. They also have a good mix of promising young talents and senior pros within their squad. Plus one of the best death over bowlers in the form of Jasprit Bumrah who on his day can wreak havoc on the opposition batsmen. Bangalore don’t have enough depth in their batting which can cause them serious problems during the back end of the tournament. We put our stakes on MUM to edge past BAN to secure their maiden victory of the UAE leg.
